Ask any hardcore Stone enthusiast about our most legendary beers and you're bound to hear mention of this one. Nearly jet black with a fluffy hot chocate-colored head, a goblet of this obsidian wonder held to the sky could block out the sun. Or an evening. Redolent with dark chocolate and heavy roast up front, gracefully supported by nuances of coffee, black currant, molasses as it finishes. This beaut is ageable for years. Some of us are still enjoying our bottles from the early 2000's. So, to look ahead, what will your stock of the 2022 edition of the Stone Imperial Stout be in 2037? Legit question. Advance planning will be its own reward!

Pours a pitch black body and a dense brown head with some patches retention. Aroma's: heavy roast, umami, some red fruit. Retronasal it's roasted, sweetish, red fruit. Flavour: (above) moderate chocolatey sweet, roasty bitterish, light red fruity sourness. Above medium bodied. Firm roast and bitterness in the finish. Awesome stuff.

Nice roast! Chocolate malts, light bitterness. Not sure if this is actually different than the Russian imperial stout because it's been so long since I had RIS. Really nice stuff.
